| The purpose of this paper is to analyze the cost efficiency of dairy farms in Japan. The overall cost efficiency measure is decomposed into two components (Fare and Grosskopf, 1985): (1) the weak cost efficiency measure; (2) the scale efficiency measure. Linear programming techniques are used in calculating the efficiency measures for a sample of dairy farms in Japan during the year 1989. The study demonstrates an overall cost inefficiency, which is not due to scale inefficiency, but rather to weak cost inefficiency. |

| The purpose of this study is to examine the importance of the price, freshness, use of the HACCP label, and use of the Eco label (the latent attribute of the milk produced from the raw milk of dairy farms that comply with The Law, which protects the environment by legally enforcing manure treatment) in Japanese consumers’ milk purchasing decisions. We employ Choice Modeling to quantify the welfare change associated with the change in the levels of these attributes for a sample of Japanese consumers taken in December 2000. We found that consumers have a positive perception of the HACCP label, the Eco-milk label, and the freshness of the milk. |
